Eagles on the Rampage by Robert Taylor art signed by Ten WWII Mustang Aces

EAGLES ON THE RAMPAGE   by Robert Taylor

  Dominating the skies over Germany, pilots of the 4th Fighter Group skim the cloud tops in their P-51 Mustangs, scanning the distant horizon for signs of the Luftwaffe. They are poised and ready for action should the enemy decide to chance their luck.

Formed in September 1942 from the RAF Eagle Squadrons, the Fourth Fighter Group was the oldest fighter unit in the Eighth Air Force; Under the command of Don Blakeslee, described as ‘probably the best fighter leader of the war’, the combined air and ground victories notched up by‘The Eagles’ during World War II surpassed any other fighter group. They were the first to penetrate German air space, and the first to engage the Luftwaffe over Berlin. Hermann Goering later remarked ‘When I saw those Mustangs over Berlin, I knew that the war was lost’.
